  • This is a second outpost of Thai Bistro in Chinatown, opened in what had been the O Shima space for the last three years. Though I've become partial to the newly-opened Khao San Thai Kitchen a block or so east, and also though my experiences with Thai Bistro in Chinatown have been mixed, I still decided to give this new location a try yesterday. I got an order of the fish cakes (which Khao San doesn't have on the menu, so it didn't feel quite like cheating) and their spin on chicken with basil (#62 on the menu, listed by its Thai name which I don't have in front of me right now) for take-out. Food was ready in minutes and as I live steps away, so was I. After a nice brief chat with the Thai owner, I paid my $17 and took my repast home. First noticing: This is a lot of food, easily enough, with rice (I made this myself but it's $1.95 on the menu), for two people- for $17. Try that at any other Thai place in town. The fish cakes have always been great at the Chinatown location and were here too, with that oddly rubbery but addictive texture and a really nice dipping sauce of sweet chili and cucumbers. Two big cakes are just $4, a steal. The basil chicken was fine, but needed both salt and heat- needed more fish sauce and way more chili but I'd hope this can be rectified on ordering. The PORTION was big- as I say, with rice (and you need rice with basil chicken, it's not made for eating by itself anymore than would you eat bolognese sauce without pasta), it could easily feed two. In a city with consistently overpriced Thai, this is really refreshing. All in all, I'm thrilled. Yes, we lost two of my favourite restos, O Shima and Jaro Blue, but we got two good new Thai places in a neighbourhood that had had zero (and no, Thai Tai is not Thai but rather a Vietnamese sandwich shop). That's a trade up, I'd say.
